Policy Recommendations

The Police Complaints Board (PCB), which oversees the Office of Police Complaints (OPC), is empowered to conduct periodic reviews and make recommendations to the Mayor, the Council, and the Chiefs of the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) and DC Housing Authority’s Office of Public Safety (OPS) concerning the status and the improvement of the citizen complaint process or elements of the two police departments’ recruitment, training, evaluation, discipline, and supervision of police officers.

Since its inception, PCB has issued numerous policy recommendations, many of which have been adopted by the police departments and other District agencies to improve citizen interactions with officers, enhance police accountability, and improve policing. Below is a complete list of policy recommendations.
